L'EAU DU SUD (3) proved useful when tackling fences and could have every chance of returning to winning ways. Travelled like the winner before fading out of contention late in the G1 Arkle Trophy at the Cheltenham Festival last month and fitting of first-time cheekpieces could make the difference. ONLY BY NIGHT (6) is closely matched with the main selection having gone down narrowly in the aforementioned G1 at Cheltenham. This Gavin Cromwell trained mare maintains an attractive profile and looks to be a major threat once more. Dropping in trip might prove interesting for the talented KALIF DU BERLAIS (2). Appeared not to stay the distance when fourth on testing ground in the 2m4f G1 Scilly Isles Novices Chase. SPECIAL CADEAU (4) completes the shortlist.
